Texas Pavement Preservation Center Kicks-Off

The new Texas Pavement Preservation Center (TPPC) was officially established August 11, 2005 in joint partnership with the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) of the University of Texas at Austin and the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) of Texas A&M University.

The TPPC will provide training in the area of pavement preservation and act as a clearinghouse to publicize and distribute information on the latest advances in the pavement preservation field. TPPC will also provide expert demonstrations and on-site training, as needed or directed by TxDOT. TPPC is currently building a web site, which will present an online, quarterly newsletter to the maintenance community with information on research projects, training materials, journals, and conferences. TPPC will be a source of information related to recent developments in the area of pavement preservation.

Currently, TPPC is organizing the 2005 Pavement Preservation Seminar along with the Foundation for Pavement Preservation (FP²) and Associated General Contractors of Texas (AGC), which will take place on October 4, 2005 in conjunction with the 22nd Annual Texas AGC Trade and Equipment Show in Austin, Texas.
